Doubtless many laughable jokes
were, as usual, played the first day Of
April, enc of which occurred at this
place. l.. P. Sheldon, on his return
from the post-office, to his home that
evening, was informed by his little
son, Norman, who had previously
been instructed by his mamma, that
there was a skunk in uncle Ara
Nhitman's cellar and they wanted
Mr.. Sheldon to come in and help
chem get rid of it. 1t is we'll known
fact that Mr.. Sheldon is a very ac-
commoda ing neighbor, and with his
usual good will he started off to rem
der what assistance he could. On the
way he met w. L. Gibson and son
and invited them to go with him and
help dislodge the unwelcome visitor.
Accordingly, they stepped to the door
and knocked, when Miss Mary, who
understood the joke, made her APP
pearance, and Mr.. Sheldon said
II understand that you have a skunk
in your cellar that you wish to get rid
of." The young lady, in reply, said,
Eyes, but | suppose we should not
nave if it was not the first day of
April" We fancy the gentlemen
we're feeling rather foolish about that
lime; but they certainly manifested
kindness and goodwill to help a
neighbor in time Of need. The joke
vas all taken in good part, SO nc
harm was done.
April showers last Monday which
With the warm wind and bright sun
shine of the two previous days, set
led the snow very perceptibly in this
vicinity. We could well spare much
more and then have enough left for
good sleighing and to cool new sugar
IN, providing that we have the sugar,
which seems a little doubtful. But
we all could enjoy the beautiful sun
shine and mild weather af er the
many cold dreary storms, which this
section has been afflicted with.
